I've been trying for a few weeks now to customize my HUD so that the health value turns a certain color when at a certain amount of health. I would very much appreciate if anyone could help me.

most custom huds have colour labelled overheal/buff/hp bonus or something in that sense in /resource/clientscheme, change that
if not, go to /scripts/hudanimations_tf, under "event HudHealthBonusPulse" find "PlayerStatusHealthValue" and change the fgcolour to desired one

It didn't change anything. Try looking at my hudanimations, maybe you can figure out whats wrong:

event HudHealthBonusPulse
{
Animate PlayerStatusHealthValue FgColor "Green" Linear 0.0 0.0
Animate PlayerStatusHealthBonusImageBG Alpha "150" Linear 0.0 0.5
Animate PlayerStatusHealthBonusImage Alpha "255" Linear 0.0 0.2
Animate PlayerStatusHealthBonusImage Alpha "0" Linear 0.2 0.4
RunEvent HudHealthBonusPulseLoop 0.4
}

StopEvent HudHealthBonusPulseLoop 0.0

PlayerStatusHealthValue sets the colour, the health will change the colour when buffed ( HudHealthBonusPulse) or under set % of hp (can be set in hudplayerheath) HudHealthDyingPulse

When you have a line like:

Animate PlayerStatusHealthValue FgColor "Green" Linear 0.0 0.0

The color "Green" is actually looking for a clientscheme definition with that name. You don't have any clientscheme definition named "Green", so it fails.

Try to do something more along the lines of:

Animate PlayerStatusHealthValue FgColor "0 255 0 255" Linear 0.0 0.0

You could also change the clientscheme to include green, or change them to use a clientscheme definition that exists, but just using the raw RGBA numbers are fine too.

You should use the hud editing questions thread in the future by the way:

@JarateKing I have tried that. In my clientscheme I put a definition of green to be "0 255 0 255". Still nothing.
@degu I wanted a yellow for low health and light green for overheal

Did you restart tf2 because you need to restart tf2 for the changes to be shown.

@dego nothing happened. I'm gonna paste that now in my animation file.

Seems like none of these are working.. Guys, I think someone should just download the HUD and try it out in-game until they manage to make the colors change.

oh i see where's the problem, create a .txt file called hudanimations_manifest.txt, put it into scripts and insert:

hudanimations_manifest

{
	"file"			"scripts/hudanimations.txt"
	"file"			"scripts/toonhudanimations.txt"
	"file"			"scripts/hudanimations_tf.txt"
}

you've done some customizations which resulted in the file missing
